Re: fantasy and paranormal

Just as Tsujigiri, I tend to hold on to my skepticism pretty hard when dealing with things labeled "paranormal" or "supernatural". I'm a Virgo, so I never take anything at face value (although you should not take that comment as a sign that I necessarily buy into astrology ), and as an "X-files" fan, I've always thought that the show's motto, "Trust No One" is a pretty good attitude to take when considering reports of such things. But I, too, have had some experiences that I cannot explain away no matter how hard I've tried to. So I keep an open mind on the subject and I don't think that it is all fantasy and hallucination, although a good deal of what passes for it often might be. As for whether or not the subject falls into "science", I think it depends a lot on how you approach it, and on what your definitions are. I sometimes think that these things are not above or outside the normal and natural, as the words that usually label them imply, but are just outside what science currently can measure and chooses to look at.

Just my two cents' worth.
